You’re invited to Electronic Music Production Workshop with Christian Schwanz aka CEE (Ableton Certified Trainer) on Thursday, February 21st at SAE Jakarta

“Track Deconstruction & Music Production”In this session, we will dive deep into CEE’s latest works and examine the use of automation and see how quick variations can spice things up. We will also take a close look at the new devices and features in Ableton Live 10.1 (beta), see how we can drop our own samples into the powerful wavetable synthesizer and how well Push 2 is integrated into the workflow.In conjunction with AUDIO OPEN NIGHT, you can also tour our studios, join other activities and get special offers on Audio courses during the night. Please contact our admission for more details.

Powered by Fusion-IR | Synthesis, Lustrous Plates is a rich and luxurious contemporary plate design with seven distinctive models. TASM uses a proprietary multi band dynamic capture and analysis method which allows an unprecedented frequency specific profiling of each plate’s natural decay, which is then mapped into an advanced reverb synthesis algorithm.

This not only reproduces the beautiful decay of real hardware plates, but it also gains the benefit of having classic algorithmic reverb parameters which allow fine tuning in ways that you’ve never been able to with any other plate emulation including precise control of frequency dispersion, width and modulation.

When it comes to reverb, it’s all about the sound quality. Verberate is an algorithmic reverb plug-in that simulates real acoustical surroundings with exceptional realism. The first Verberate version already raised the bar. Version 2 introduces the Vivid Hall algorithm that adds time variance to avoid the stiffness that plagues convolution based reverbs while preserving the natural high density reverb tails of Verberate 1. ...

Lofi fans, if you love 112dB Morgana which is inspired by the legendary sampler Ensoniq Mirage. You should definitely checkout JAWS which is a dedicated 'dynamic bitcrusher' plugin and much more.

It has everything you would expect from a high-quality bitcrusher: bit reduction, sample rate reduction, a pre-amp, an input and output filter, and more. But it also features a host of modulation options. You can modulate the bit depth, the sample rate, as well as the mix. On top of that Jaws also has a resonant multi filter that you can modulate as well.

That means you can use Jaws in the usual way: to add a little of the charm of the samplers from the 80s by reducing the bit depth or the sample rate. An input and output filter, a vintage colored pre-amp and u-law noise reduction make it possible to approximate this old school sound more closely. Or use Jaws to destroy your sound completely if you are more into ‘industrial’.

But what Jaws is really about is that you can use all those effects in a creative, fluid way. With the Envelope Follower you can add more crunch to the loud parts of your track (or the softer parts). The LFO makes it possible to create all kinds of weird oscillating effects. If you use this subtly you can add some ‘jitter’ to the sound. On extreme settings you can really go through the roof, and alter the sound beyond recognition. ...
